Premise

After the death of her mother in a car accident, Cassandre turns her back on her past: she leaves her father and sister in Huy and becomes a flight attendant for a low-cost carrier based in Lanzarote. Seemingly blasé and giving little thought to her future, at 26 she lives day-to-day drifting through work, living together with the staff on call, partying in nightclubs, and brief encounters with strangers from dating apps.
